Syracuse, N.Y. — A major addition to the Syracuse football schedule may be coming: The school is working with LSU on an upcoming home-and-home series, according to Joe Giansante, the SU athletic department's chief of communications.

No agreement has been finalized, nor has any dates for the series. Giansante did say one of the games would be played at the Carrier Dome and not at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Giansante added the discussions were for scheduling a series this decade.

"Those are the kinds of games we want to play to raise the profile of our brand," Giansante said. "We want to make sure people understand we're going for it. We want to have an elite level football program."

Syracuse previously announced nonconference matchups with Maryland and Central Michigan. The series with Central Michigan is a two-for-one, with Syracuse traveling to CMU on Sept. 13 and the Chippewas playing at Syracuse in 2015 and 2017. Maryland visits the Carrier Dome on Sept. 20, and SU will travel to College Park in 2019.

Syracuse also will face Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium in 2014 and 2016, and finishes off a previously announced agreement with Penn State in 2020-21.
